I don't even think I'd date a socdem anymore unless they're on board with Under No Pretexts. A previous partner terrified me when I said "we might have to run the Canadian border at some point to escape Trump and his militias" and she refused to touch a gun then or learn how to safely handle one prior to needing to use it. Ideology isn't a test of their opinions so much as it is a test of how they'll respond to conditions, and as conditions worsen they'll either tune out or become reactionary.
That very much limits how far the relationship could go. Like I maybe could fuck a conservative in a threesome with someone I didn't hate. A could bang a lib a few times before getting bored and leaving. (And have a few times, lol) But I don't think I could go as far as living with someone and making them a large part of my life unless they were some kind of real leftist. I would never be able to let my guard down and be truly open if they weren't.

Y'all are making me feel lucky to live in a place where Berniecrats are the mainstream and it goes left from there.
Is it possible to visit this place?
It's called any urban area on the west coast, Santa Cruz or north.
